Description:
Bikaner House was the summer
residence of the royal family of Bikaner. Constructed in
1893 during the minority of Maharaja Ganga Singhji, the mansion was
designed by the legendary architect Sir Swinton Jacob, under the
supervision of the Council of Regency.
Set on vast grounds amidst tranquil hills, Bikaner house occupied one of
the best locations in Mount Abu and was visited regularly by the
Maharaja and the royal family. In 1962 Maharaja Karni Singhji decided to
convert the royal residence into a hotel. |
